It is not ideal to run a player piano from a shop vac as the vacuum level is WAYYY too high for what the system is designed for. That vacuum is pulling 100 or more inches of water, whereas the player is designed to run from 5-10. Tiny leaks from leather pores, or minute gasket issues are greatly amplified and can show false positives when troubleshooting. You'll get more accurate results and realistic diagnostics be either introducing a bleed (hole) in the vaccum line feed, or by dialing down the running speed with a variable power source (plug on a dimmer).
@@okbridges Thank you for the advise. I would really like to do it. We have a piano in our church and would like the sound to be heard over the PA system. Grateful if you could give me additional or detail information if you have them available. Regards

This has given me a lot more insight into how to troubleshoot my own player piano! Thanks for uploading.
Leave the lead tube in place! Your vacuum cleaner supply is a bit strong. Use a stethoscope to search for leaks.
Maybe use a roll without holes and huge missing spots
Can the sound of this piano be connected to the PA systme
You will need at least a pair of microphones, one near the bass end and one near the treble end to pick up the sound.
